Everything Everywhere All at Once

Everything Everywhere All at Once is a movie released a year ago in March 2022 and recently got a lot of publicity for winning Best Picture at the Academy Awards. It has some great lessons for business, but trying to be everything everywhere all at once isn't one of them!

An entrepreneur who attempts to be Everything Everywhere All at Once within their company is on a doomed path for failure. This strategy involves attempting to manage, control and oversee all aspects of the business, from the sales and marketing departments, to the product development team, and even the back-office operations. By trying to do too much and oversee every detail of their organization, they are often unable to provide adequate focus or attention to any one area.?


The effects of this well-meaning, but misguided approach can be far-reaching. Without proper delegation of tasks and accountability among staff members, tasks are often left incomplete or not done correctly in the first place. This leads to missed deadlines, customer dissatisfaction, low productivity levels, and decreased morale among employees. In addition, it may lead to financial losses as resources are wasted on unnecessary projects or initiatives that could have been avoided if someone had taken a step back from the situation and made more informed decisions.

Ultimately, an entrepreneur should strive for balance rather than attempting to take on too much at once. An entrepreneur will be able to effectively delegate tasks while still maintaining oversight over key areas of their business if they take the time to develop a cohesive plan for how responsibilities should be allocated across different departments throughout their organization. By doing so, they can ensure that every area gets the attention it needs without sacrificing quality in any one area.


On the other hand, Everything Everywhere All at Once emphasizes the power of collaboration and working with others towards a common goal. Throughout her journey Evelyn meets many people from different universes whom she teams up with in order to achieve success. Similarly, entrepreneurs must collaborate with others such as fractional consultants in order for their business ideas to get off the ground and reach greater heights of success. It is only through working together that one can truly unlock their maximum potential for growth.

If you're tired of getting what you're getting, you've got to stop doing what you're doing!

Another critical upside to utilizing fractional leaders, professionals and project professionals is that you can pick the ones that bring a unique skillset and are a good fit for your initiatives. Agility is key!

Really good advice here George Mayfield, MBA! A firm will not scale if the leader is not able to trust that they have the right people in the right leadership roles to then let go of the reigns. Only then will an organization begin to grow beyond the direct control plane of the leader. Thanks for sharing George!

Good insights George Mayfield, MBA. Now that generative AI is entering the mainstream it will be interesting to see what start ups embrace it to accelerate their success. One problem we run across frequently is what I'll call "Data Blindspots"- data with the potential to deliver critical insights. However, it's hidden (or trapped) in multiple, disconnected silos. Pulling it out via team members can waste time and energy. Generative AI changes this.
